"house"
I know that the assignment said to watch a show you do not normally watch, but it has been years since I have watch "House" I thought it would be fun to watxh with the sound off. I watched the show in silence and the non-verbal communication that goes on on that show is amazing. If you did not have subtitles or sound you would think that House was MAD all the time. The way his body movements were when he was talking with patients and especialy with his crew of Dr.s lead you to eblieve that he is always angry. His facial expressions show sarcasim and disrespect. The funny thing about this show is this is really how House talks, his non-verbal vs. his verbal are very similar. The other Dr.s of the show are not as easy to read. Their movements were not as revealing as House's. I had a coulple of "aha" moments once I turned the sound back on and paid attention to the other Dr.s. I noticed that one of the Dr.s look like she was sad and misserable, when infact she was just having a moment when she was discussing a medical term with the patient. People's body language can be very tricky to read. I am glad in a way that I watch a show that i was somewhat familiar with, like I said I have not seen it in years, but What i thought I knew about these characters was completely off when I coudl not hear what they were saying.

Tiffany, I love that show. You are exactly right, his gestures and facial expressions are very similar to what he is really saying. I think its funny that when you watch the show regularly though you do get the feeling that House cares,in hiw own waroed way, for the other characters. Great post, thanks
